What It Feels Like to Type On
The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. In this price tier, you should expect aluminum top plates, doubleshot or PBT keycaps, and per-key RGB. If those aren't here, the price is hard to justify.

Real-World Feedback
A 4.4-star average from 426 buyers means most are happy, but a meaningful slice - roughly 15-20% - has at least some complaint. The pattern in the negative reviews matters more than the average itself.
The Field Around It
At $99.99, the Satechi SM1 75% Bluetooth Keyboard sits well above the $86.40 category average. 26 options are cheaper and 19 are more expensive.
The category leader is the Arteck Wireless Full Size Keyboard ($33.99, 4.4★, 28,787 reviews). It's $66.00 more expensive than the top pick despite ranking lower, which is a hard combination to justify unless a specific feature swings the decision.
Cheaper alternatives worth a look:
- Razer Ornata V3 Gaming Keyboard - $54.99, 4.5★ (967 reviews) · Better on both axes
- Arteck Wireless Full Size Keyboard - $33.99, 4.4★ (28,787 reviews) · Cheaper
- Logitech MK470 Slim Keyboard Mouse Combo - $39.99, 4.4★ (7,569 reviews) · Cheaper
If rating alone is your filter, the highest-rated option in this category is the ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile at 4.7★. If pure price is the filter, the cheapest is the Redragon BK7114 Low Profile Keyboard at $21.84.
Who Should Get This
Probably yes , with a caveat. The rating is strong and the price is reasonable. Just confirm the specific features you care about - connectivity, switches, ports, whatever - match what's listed.
The Verdict
8.2/10
Functional, mid-pack option. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing pushing it above the better-ranked alternatives either.
